Sustainability

Ethics and Integrity

Ethics and integrity are essential aspects to develop a society or company solid and consistently. It is an issue that permeates all sectors of society, where poor management can be detrimental to economic and socio-environmental sustainability, while good management of ethics in business and relationships adds and generates value, such as the establishment of a harmonious environment that promotes the development of employees.

For a globalized company like WEG, in addition to internal management, this subject involves the company’s relations with different stakeholders in diferente countries and cultures around the world.

In this context, the establishment of a robust system that is constantly improved in terms of policies, tools and actions is essential to avoid related risks and to maintain continuous and sustainable growth.

Therefore, we use and continuously improve a compliance system, which has specific policies and guidelines, risk mapping and prevention, a reporting system, independence of the area in charge, continuous training of employees in general, and training focused on strategic areas.

Among the goals that compose the SDG 16, WEG’s practices are aligned to meet the goals:

Risk Management

Within our Corporate Risk Management System and its categories, we can identify risks related to ethics and integrity. Such identification is essential for the monitoring and ocasional mitigation plans for potential risks.

The system is assessed globally and has the following risk categories: Strategic, Financial, People, Compliance & Governance and Processes.

Continuous training of employees

Training in the Policy to fight corruption and other detrimental acts for strategic areas
